The Jeskai Ascendancy deck in Pioneer is a combo deck that aims to win by creating a loop of casting and recasting cheap spell cards to generate a powerful advantage. The deck features cards like Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Mox Amber to help cast multiple spells in a turn and trigger Jeskai Ascendancy's ability. Portable Hole can also provide removal for opposing threats. One of the key strategies of the deck is to use Retraction Helix in combination with Mishra's Research Desk and Fallaji Archaeologist to continuously bounce and recast cheap artifacts like Mox Amber to generate mana and pump creatures. Saheeli, Sublime Artificer can also create token copies of artifacts to trigger Jeskai Ascendancy's ability. The deck's good points include its ability to quickly generate mana and pump creatures, creating a threatening board state for the opponent. Cards like Treasure Cruise and Consider provide card draw and selection to find key combo pieces. However, the deck's reliance on its combo pieces can also be a weakness. Without Jeskai Ascendancy or key combo pieces, the deck can struggle to keep up with faster aggressive decks. Additionally, interaction like removal spells can disrupt the deck's combo plan. Overall, the Jeskai Ascendancy deck in Pioneer is a fun and powerful combo deck that can catch opponents off guard with its explosive turns, but it requires careful sequencing and protection of its combo pieces to succeed consistently.
